We are very excited to be hosting a neighbourhood party to celebrate all the stories, and local residents and creatives Clapham Park Creative has been working with since we started in 2018. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to get together and we want this event to help us remember what it’s like to laugh, listen to music, and do fun things with neighbours.
Bring your neighbours, friends and family, and come have some fun with us!
